Windows

Any news about this lib running on windows ?

@khalilTN I will start working on that soon, I haven't tested it on windows yet, shouldn't take too much work, the hardest part is testing on windows for every new release, kind of a pain in the ass.

seems like useful library but installation fails on windows - any plans at all, on supporting windows at all?

unfortunately windows is not supported, i no longer own a personal windows machine and cloud-based windows ci/cd is not super easy to come by
